Apg12 (Autophagy-related 12, 4931423H11Rik, A330058M13Rik, Atg12, Apg12L, APG12-like, Atg12L, Autophagy-related protein 12)
Description:
Autophagy is a catabolic process for the autophagosomic- lysosomal degradation of bulk cytoplasmic contents (1,2). Autophagy is generally activated by conditions of nutrient deprivation but has also been associated with a number of physiological processes including development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, infection and cancer (3). The molecular machinery of autophagy was largely discovered in yeast and referred to as autophagy-related (Atg) genes. Formation of the autophagosome involves a ubiquitin-like conjugation system in which Apg12 is covalently bound to Apg5 and targeted to autophagosome vesicles (4-6). This conjugation reaction is mediated by the ubiquitin-E1-like enzyme Apg7 and the E2-like enzyme Apg10 (7,8).

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunofluorescence: 1:100
Western Blot: 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation: 1:25
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
